1For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
1Kajti glej, dan prihaja, ki gori kakor peč, in vsi prevzetniki in vsi, ki delajo brezbožno, bodo strnišče; in dan, ki prihaja, jih sežge, pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, da jim ne ostavi ne korenine, ne mladike.
2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
2Vam pa, ki se bojite imena mojega, vzide solnce pravičnosti in ozdravljenje bo pod njegovimi perutmi, in izhajali boste in skakali kakor pitana teleta;
3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
3in pogazite brezbožnike, kajti kakor pepel bodo pod vašimi stopali v dan, ki ga jaz napravim, pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami.
4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
4Spominjajte se zakona Mojzesa, hlapca mojega, ki sem mu ga zapovedal na Horebu, postave in sodbe za vsega Izraela.
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
5Glej, jaz vam pošljem Elija proroka, preden pride dan GOSPODOV, veliki in strašni.In on obrne srce očetov k otrokom in srce otrok k njih očetom, da ne pridem in ne udarim dežele s prokletjem.
6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
6In on obrne srce očetov k otrokom in srce otrok k njih očetom, da ne pridem in ne udarim dežele s prokletjem.
